Above The Poplars
I want to walk across
the tops of poplar trees
above the copse
of people on their knees
as they look in shock
at the higher me
I don't want to drop
back to where I plead
it isn't how I bleed
I don't like to concede
passion runs , it doesn't walk
through every part of me
I have certain needs
in my sight
so I can see
but every time
I throw my line
they get out of my
thrown reach .
Many complications
and bad communications
a lack of belief
and quick set condemnations
missread dictations ,
unheard orations
my blood gets bled , I'm nearly dead
before the celebrations .
So I need to be
above those waving trees
I swear some day
I will , and you'll see .
I'll get up there
no use
for accused , hot air
my keys
will leave
their typed nightmare
and sail in the seas
of unanswered questionaires
reply with ease
and put the damage in repair
my words will talk
on every board in coloured chalk
run around in the minds
of those who cannot walk
and maybe then
I think the ink
in my pen
will turns the if's and but's
into a definate when .
And that , you see
is all I need
so don't worry
about the food
and who feeds
no ride is free
or full of ease
and I don't need
you at all
to ever carry me .[/font]
